guys . . . they're not fog lights, they're driving lights! Their sole purpose is to help light up the road immediately in front of and to the side of the car.

their beam illuminates a useless area in front of the car, almost nothing to the side and put out very little light. in fact when i turn them on in real fog i found them to make the glare and visibility worse.
i have used hella fog lights in the past and they are great. i might just try to find a set of hellas to replace the stockers.
anyone esle notice this? have you found a suitable replacement?
i am talking about the fog lights on my P5

For my p5 i bought Philips All-Weather 55W H3's and they project the same color light as good as the PIAA's in my view. Plus you can buy two bulbs for half the price of the piaa's i bought. I bought my piaa's for 45 bucks a pair and got the philips for $20.

There is a direct replacemant PIAA ligths out there, they are Piaa 5462 Extreme White driving lights. You can ask for Ion (yellow) if they are available.
I assure you won't have any complains with this lights, except for the price. Good luck

walight01, im not sure if you are talking about the US all weather bulbs or not. I got my all weather bulbs from Europe, UK version bulb. I dont think they are like the ones in the US, they are distinctly yellow... and are made by Philips.
go to philips uk website for more info on the bulb.
I ordered them from www.autolamps-online.com for 20 bucks, including free shipping worldwide. They are cheaper and i think they were worth the 20 bucks i spent on them.
